Default Who is still running a Fuddle Converter?

just wondering who here on pt.net is still running a fuddle converter? looks like yank, circle D are the best selling/perfomers on here now days....

Im still running my Fuddle, been having it for maybe 4-5yrs now with no issues and running strong.... i also know of 2-3 other personal friends (that are not online) of mine that are running them with no issues.... I personally orderd those converters for them and they are also cutting hi 1.6, low 1.7 60's on them...

just figured I start a post to see how many of the Fuddle owners are still around...

I've used them a couple of times, and never had any problems with them. Seems like over the years they have earned a bad reputation, not sure why.

yeah Fuddle was just the middle guy selling them and he messed up the reputation.... but the acutal guy that builds them "Howard" is a real stand up guy... I really think that if i was to do it again, i would call Howard and get another, i guess cause it has performed really good for me....

I have a fuddle that seems to be great. Looks like it was built to tight tolerances and like a tank in the thick billet plate. Very streetable and its a 3400.
